Subject: How do I restrict posts?

I would like to restrict posts so that only I can post to the group as my
list is for a opt-in newsletter. But for now I am trying just to restrict to
the list members.

>From my config file:

	# restrict_post        [restrict_post] (free-pctech-news) <resend>
	# If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
	# separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
	# are relative to the lists directory. These files are also checked
	# when get_access, index_access, info_access, intro_access,
	# which_access, or who_access is set to 'list'. This is less useful
	# than it seems it should be since there is no way to create these
	# files if you do not have access to the machine running resend.
	# This mechanism will be replaced in a future version of
	# majordomo/resend.
restrict_post       =   free-pctech-news

Is this the reason its not working?:

	# resend_host          [word] (undef) <resend>
	# The host name that is appended to all address strings specified
	# for resend.
resend_host         =


I'm a little unclear on this setting. Should it be localhost?

Thanks
